Myeong-dong, Seoul hotel rooms at the Independent

"In the middle of a popular shopping area. Hotel modeled after Japanese style interaction. So service is very good. Breakfast was very good with variation over the days."

"This was our second time staying here. It’s close to fun shopping areas and great for exploring. "

"At the USD $50 or so price point, then very good value. But not so much if the walk-in price is $75 or above. Very clean rooms although common areas are shabbier. Good breakfast included. Very hard to find so be sure to get a diagram showing which small streets to walk down from after getting off subway exit 8. Next to Royal Hotel for frame of reference. Great location once hotel is found."

"If you’re planning on soaking up the lively atmosphere of Myeandong then you couldn’t be closer to the action here. Helpful and accommodating staff, clean and comfortable room, Though they don’t serve breakfastt on site they issue vouchers for meals at restaurants nearby. One warning! - Pack earplugs !!!, Myeandong is noisy till late and the windows at the hotel are not soundproof "

"Great location for our first time visit to Seoul. We walked out the door, behind the hotel was the street market at night and a ton of shops. The Myeongdong station was in front of the hotel with plenty of taxi’s and Ubers easily available. Bus tours to the DMZ pickup was also right by hotel. K-pop music played through the market but the hotel is quiet. Breakfast at Float was very good with a nice variety of western and Korean food to choose from."

"Been coming here for more than 20 years , all good . Connected to lotte mall and you are surrounded by best restaurants . Also , convenient to everywhere ."

"Incredible food and shopping options right outside the hotel. This is a prime location!"

"The room was large and the bed very comfortable. The location is ideal to walk most tourist spots and also has easy access to all transportation. "

"Not much to do around the immediate area but the location has easy access to lots of transit which is super helpful. You can also walk like 15 minutes to Ikseon-dong which has lots of yummy food."
